Newsome is one of 12 people being inducted, honoring his career as a three-sport star at Colbert County High in Alabama.

Newsome nearly pulled the trifecta as a senior, leading his school to a 15-0 season and state football title, the state basketball championship and hit .350 for the baseball team which lost the state finals.

Congrats Ozzie.. Congrat’s on the Mohawk too! I pity the fool who doesn’t appreciate that mohawk! Could use some more gold chains though.

You should have seen Oz play. He was Gronk before Gronk was born, they just didn’t use tight ends like that back then. When Oz was loose on the second level with the ball, it was panic time for the D. And he would flat concuss LBs on the block and pancake them. Dude could ball.

What an amazing career. An awesome tight end then to not only be a great GM but a two time Super Bowl winning GM. I almost think that they should re induct him into the HALL when it’s all said and done. I’m not sure if anyone has had such success in two fields. I saw that he actually called Bear Bryant to apologize one time for spiking the ball after a touchdown in the NFL.

Congrats to Ozzie, and congrats to Darin Gantt — that was one totally righteous refrence

What’s really impressive is that Ozzie not only had a lot of talent, but that he identifies talent so well. In reality, being able to play football and understanding who has talent are two very different skill sets.

But even beyond that, Ozzie not only drafts well but he’s also great at utilizing free agency and identifying which players to retain and which players to move on from.

Somebody is walking around with nothing, because The Wizard’s got it all.

Wow…I just want to thank the Cleveland Browns for letting him get away to become a Baltimore Raven.
It is better than even the Chicago Cubs giving up Lou Brock or the Red Sox giving up the Baltimore Babe.

Wow I mean I know the Steeler’s front office couldn’t identify a great O lineman to save their lives but I figured their fans may be able to.

Then again I do give people a lot of credit.

As for the guy thinking Cleveland “gave up” Ozzie….ummmm he was part of the package deal when the Browns left…..soooooooo yeah. Not exactly how it worked.

For someone passing judgement on others it’s funny that you comment on Ogden but omit the Criminal. I guess your mind skips over the criminals like Rice and Lewis….surprising for such a genius.

Steeler trolls on a message board trying to knock down a multiple level HOFer are hilarious. Obviously none of those HOF people have any idea what they are doing.

I’m not prepared to say he’s already the best GM in history, but least he’s in the discussion, unlike any expert poster around here, and there will be another HOF vote on him as an executive when he finishes this gig.

Yes..the team moved…but why did the team move? Because Cleveland couldn’t keep the owner happy.
So the owner leaves and takes Ozzie, JO, Ray Lewis with him. So again…Thank you Cleveland fans for being in denial and playing a role in Ozzie coming to Baltimore.

This steeler fan respects his accomplishments on and off the field – another well deserved honor.

Being accused doesn’t make you a criminal pleading guilty does….surprised someone of your advanced IQ would realize…oh wait room temp is not a high IQ. Would have made it easier for you if I added an s to criminal.

Though they should take something away from Oz for that Flacco deal. Nevermind, they did – Boldin, Ellerbe, Kruger, Williams…

Being accused doesn’t make you a criminal pleading guilty does….surprised someone of your advanced IQ would realize…oh wait room temp is not a high IQ. Would have made it easier for you if I added an s to criminal.

It may be. By your logic I may not be smart but I’m not stupid enough to watch the steelers.

crown…as always respect to you for being a good sport.
so ogden was just a good player…hmm, he is universally recognized as one of the tops to ever play his position. as far as the criminal, lets not forget allll the steelers who have broken the law. you are such a hypocrite its a shame that you conisder yourself a representative of the steeler fans
